The version the 'kiddies' are doing with the Lua script is nothing new or founded by any of them. It's just an old exploit of overriding a console command, which you can do without Lua or any script at all, and you can easily bypass the default name change rate. Overall just another flaw in Valves code design for the Source engine.

The name change is something SourceMod and Mani's Admin Plugin does, not VALVe.

You don't need any addons to do the name changing, except the automated part of changing the name rather then typing it by hand each time or using binds. The base part of it can be done with a simple console command.

By my thoughts .. this is only possible in OB games.
alias change_name "name 1;wait 5;name 2;wait 5;change_name"
bind x change_name

This is how the script might look, but due the limitations of name changes per round i still don't get how this is possible.

And the script will not work in l4d games because it uses another way of changing your name.

There is a really, really, simple way to stop the server from trying to reset your name back. Although I will not disclose it either as it would create a ton more exploiting.

Both name and wait are not needed to do it.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with posting public knowledge that isn't an exploit.

Security by obscurity isn't security at all.

PHP Code:

alias name "echo A pesky admin is trying to change your name!"
